there, at the edge of the world, as chaos disperses bits throughout, lay the petrified common lisp hyperspec, ready to pronounce your implementation nonconforming

krator44: here, this one is not proprietary: http://cvberry.com/tech_writings/notes/common_lisp_standard_draft.html

also there is http://phoe.tymoon.eu/clus/doku.php which is trying to make a new/nice/etc replacement for CLHS

krator44: We treat it that way, because the main specification seems to exist only as a scanned PDF document from ANSI.
15:11:02
beach
krator44: ANSI is a for-profit organization that owns the standard. There is no link to it.
15:11:50
krator44
well what about this one http://cvberry.com/tech_writings/notes/common_lisp_standard_draft.html
15:12:50
beach
krator44: So, again, did you buy the standard from ANSI to determine that it is not a scanned document?

Section 3.2 of that essay is one of my favorite non-technical aspects of Common Lisp

I'm pretty tired of dealing with languages and standard libraries that change out from under you.

yes, I find it pretty amusing that CL programs from '94 work flawlessly on today implementations

jackdaniel: it's probably more like CL programs from '94 work with *exactly the same bugs as they had then* on today implementations

I've had this problem for like 3 weeks -- I've been just "accepting" 1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "parenscript" "src" "lib" "ps-loop"> as having been successful. -- from the restart

updates all the things. not sure if that is right command, but that is what i can think of because i have updated recently (because so has QL)
1:07:12
whoman
you may try to delete all the parenscript stuff in ~/quicklisp/ ? that is one thing i would do if it were happening to me

whoman: I still get Reader error on #<BASIC-FILE-CHARACTER-INPUT-STREAM ("/Users/thutmose/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/Parenscript-2.6/src/lib/ps-loop.lisp"/34 UTF-8) #x30200499554D>, near position 8980, within "(:map) '{}))))
